Unfortunately even with `g_open (map[disk->id].device, 1)' it fails to
open the device with errno = EPERM.
And if I set write to 0 then of course grub-setup complains that it
can't write to the device.
Maybe I just upload a new grub2 version where at least grub-probe is
fixed so others could play more easily around with it. Maybe it works
for others.
